Actress Diane Kruger is considered one of the world's most well-dressed women. She makes a statement just about every time she walks a red carpet.

Kruger, who stars opposite Max Irons and Saoirse Ronan in "The Host," has been busily promoting the new film, which hit theaters last week. She is proving once again that she's the fashion-forward trendsetter to watch this season.

For the film's L.A. premiere, Kruger opted for a black dress with floral appliques and sheer side panels from the Thakoon Spring 2013 collection. She borrowed from her film character, the Seeker, in adopting a futuristic style with a pair of two-tone metallic Jimmy Choo Malika booties, metallic silver nails and Firework white-diamond earrings by Stephen Webster.

For a similar mixed texture look, get the Dolce Vita Valentina dress with lace from Shopbop.com for $275, the Catherine Malandrino black lace paneled silk dress from Stylebop.com for $187 or the For Love & Lemons LuLu dress in black floral lace from ShopTheTrendBoutique.com for $129.

The Michael Antonio Mauldin ankle boot from Amazon.com for $97.50 has a platform heel and metallic strips for a bit of sci-fi kick, and the crystal wing earrings from NastyGal.com for $25 add some sparkle.
